WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.-There Is a strong
| undercurrent OF sentiment among Democratic

are understood to have formed combine"
for the purpose OF retaining their fat places.
They were successful in similar deal two
years ago. and now boast their ability to
knock out any candidate who may onter the
field single handed. They hold many Repro.
sentatives in their power by means Of well
distributed patronage. and think they can de-
liver their votes to each other "a needed. Lead.

throughout the country. and especially In the

ways her inability was manifest.
